glad to be able to help! I appologize that it didn't occur to me to mention it until I saw the screenshot.

And here is the promised screenshot of Guilhem (embarassingly I kept taking screenshots but had no idea where the folder was)

For the quickbars, I have number 1 on the bottom, #3 on the left, and #4 on the right. 3 and 4 don't have quickbind keys. I use those for Tank or Healing powers (as needed), Heroic Moments, Buffs, Dispels (freeing myself from a spell), Quick Travel, and Medkits. #2 is hidden; I use the arrow next to #1 to bring it up, and I only keep the things that I don't use in combat ever (switching lightsaber stance, sprinting, switching gun barrels, etc.)_________________"I'm...from Earth."

actually i believe you can set those quickbars to have keys. They aren't set by default but in one of the preference menus (probably under a controls umbrella menu) and then set whatever key you want for quickbars 3 & 4. I believe you can do this with all quickbars to set up whatever key bindings you wish.

Also I recently discovered that the game supports a "toggle movement" button that you can use to move your character forward without having to hold down the move forward key the whole time. I'm not sure what the default button is (you can check in the movement key binding menu) but it is very helpful if you are trying to chat during a long trip from A to B without having to stop every time you want to type something._________________

Ah-ha! So that's how you were speedering and typing at the same time the other day! And here I was thinking you perfected the "pilot with right hand using mouse, type with left hand using keys" tactic. Sneaky. _________________

I did try the pilot with right hand, type with left but let's just say it didn't go well. I then looked for other solutions to my problem and there it was, right under my nose in the control menu! and you know me, i like stealth and doing sneaky things.

I did manage to crash into a few rocks and trees and had a few other *typing typing, look at road* "oh frakk" *swerves with mouse just in time* moments. So I'm still working on the implimentation of my new discovery._________________

Sorry I was unclear. I meant that Quickbar 3 and 4 on my settings don't have keys. I never bothered to bind them. Seemed more complicated than it was worth lol. Even if it's easy, I don't mind them unbound. In most cases they're non-combat powers used for healing (medkits for personal use, healing powers for my Bounty Hunter healer, etc.) or tanking (Taunt, Backhand, etc.)_________________"I'm...from Earth."

Ok here's a question for everyone: between quest awards and armors you get at vendors I have found no shortage of modifiable armor for all my slots except belts and bracers. Thus far I found that the only place I can buy belts are the fleet commendation vendor and outside of the GTN I haven't seen any source for bracers.

Am I missing something or are these two armor pieces just incredibly rare to find as modifiable armor?_________________

I don't think I've ever had moddable bracers or belts.

But if you're having trouble finding it at vendors or through quests, I recommend the GTN._________________"I'm...from Earth."

I personally don't like crafting. I've had trouble figuring it out. It seems like the things I can craft are always inferior to the things I already have. So I decided to minimize crafting on several characters, and instead choose gathering skills.

My newest toon, an Imperial Agent (I unlocked Sith Pureblood race, and made an agent that kind of looks like Nightcrawler, so I named him Nightcrahler; all my toons have AH somewhere in them) has only gathering skills. I gave him Slicing (which means he can collect lockboxes around the map, which often contain money cases), Scavenging (you can scavenge debris around the map, but also from the bodies of large droids you kill), and Archaeology (collecting crystals and relics). I can then mail the things I get from scavenging/archaeology to the other characters who have crafting skills.

Or I can just sell everything I gather on either the GTN or to vendors. Money!_________________"I'm...from Earth."

The 9/7 patch has really messed up my game. I haven't had any lag issues since figuring out my settings early on, and now it's bad enough that I no longer look forward to playing. Anyone else start experiencing issues after the patch?_________________

I haven't had any issues, but someone I was talking to in-game did. She was standing near an item I needed to click for a mission, and I asked politely if I could use it, and she said yes, that she was waiting for lag to stop.

There should be a new patch soon though. They tend to happen on Tuesdays._________________"I'm...from Earth."

Well I certainly hope a new patch fixes things. But tonight I'll investigate further, I haven't really had time yet. I've heard turning shadows off completely does wonders, but I think I may have already done that..._________________

I was on the SWTOR forums earlier, and it's a known bug that they're working on fixing. A lot of people complained. There's a patch coming tomorrow (probably in the early post-midnight/pre-4am morning)._________________"I'm...from Earth."
